About Paula Deen's Family Kitchen

Paula Deen's Family Kitchen offers a bright and beautifully decorated setting with friendly service. The restaurant features family-style lunch with plenty of food and refill options, creating a warm, down-home feel. Guests can enjoy a view of the boardwalk from the window seats. The food quality is generally good, with standout dishes like fried chicken and delicious southern meals such as meatloaf, sweet potatoes, macaroni, coleslaw, grits, and biscuits. Visitors appreciate the exceptional service, with staff members praised for being knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The atmosphere is a step above Cracker Barrel, with a gift shop downstairs and the dining area upstairs, accessible via escalator or elevator.

The menu focuses on classic southern dishes, though options can be limited. Recently, customers shared that the restaurant offers an all you can eat family-style meal for $25 per person, with 2 mains and 4 sides to share, but they can also order just dessert for $4 each. The portions for desserts like vanilla gooey butter cake are small but highly recommended, while others like the seasonal cobbler are not well-liked due to texture and taste. The restaurant provides quick seating and service, and guests often leave full and satisfied. The gift shop downstairs sells the same gooey butter cake and even boxed mixes, making it easy to take a taste home. Overall, the restaurant is worth visiting for its good food, nice service, and fun gift shop, but reservations are recommended due to its popularity.

We visited with a party of 12. Due to the size of our group we made a reservation well ahead. Our reservation was at 4:45. We arrived 10 minutes early and were told it would be a few minutes and probably closer to our reservation time of 4:45 until the table was ready, which was fine. Time passed, more time passed, parties without reservations flowed in and went straight up to be seated while we waited. At 20 minutes after our reservation I went back to the hostess to check.

“Southern cooking” for people who’ve never had southern cooking. I’ve had better food from gas stations.

A couple dishes were lukewarm - most were cold. Meatloaf reminded me of something out of a microwave box. Chick-fil-a has better Mac and cheese. Fried chicken was edible, but nothing special - I’d rather have Popeyes or Bojangles. My wife liked the pork chops, my son and I both took one bite and spit it back out.

Server did what was required of her,...read full review
